Hi Guys,

I had my interview yesterday in London and I have 3 working days (including today) to get it back before I fly to NY on Tuesday early morning. For my K3 visa it arrivde the next morning so I took for granted this would be the same... Please, anyone who has been through the UK interview thing, please let me know when you recieved your passport with new visa back....

Thanks!

I had my interview on a Friday and it was returned by courier to my workplace in London on the following Monday.

I assume you paid the ten pounds courier fee? In which case I'm sure you will be fine.

Can it be possible to receive my visa and passport the next morning? I have to leave the UK 2 days after my interview. Will that be possible?

That is cutting it very fine. What time is your interview? If its early morning, then you can probably count some of that day as processing time. What time is your flight? I would suggest paying the before 8am delivery fee.

I feel Good...........like the moon is shining just for me!

Thank you very much for the answer.

I haven't book my flight yet because i dont know when. I have my interview at 10amso it is in the morning. But is also on Thursday ... and if they don't send my passport back by Friday I doubt I can have it till Monday ... which will be a bit late for me. So there is it possible to pay a before 8am delivery? That would be so great for me. Thanks for you answer anyway.

I got a staturday delivery without paying extra.......maybe it was because they promised I'd have it by Friday and they didn't get it done.

I also got a saturday delivery no extra charge............its just the luck of the draw, how ever i did pay for a "before 10am" delivery, so they did good, my interview was friday, passport arrived 9:30am saturday morning :thumbs: .............................BUT i have known some people wait 4+days so i would'nt go booking any flights for the day after or even 2 days after, better to be safe than mis ya flight :P
